Last Wednesday, it was revealed that Perisic needed surgery because of a "complex ACL injury" to his right knee. Various sources state that the veteran wide player is anticipated to miss at least six months of activity (Fabrizio Romano), which implies he could not return until late March or early April. The news is undoubtedly disappointing for Tottenham since, despite not having started a Premier League game this year, Perisic has served as a highly effective impact sub for Ange Postecoglou.
The Spurs head coach acknowledged last week that the news was incredibly sad and added that, in their little interaction, he had been pleased by the Croat's professionalism.The road to recovery now appears to have started for Perisic, who will aim to be fully fit for the European Championship next summer after confirming on Instagram stories that his procedure was successful.
